	Most Monadists reside in the Akrotirian Isles, where they have found relative acceptance and tolerance of their beliefs.

	Very few Monadist centers of worship are known to exist. The faith holds three sites to be holy, located near [[Armuta]] in the Akrotirian Isles and [[Russicada]] and [[Idalion]] on the southern coast of the Chaska Sea. No permanent Monadist temples exist - instead, they prefer to gather to pray in the homes of other followers.		Very few Monadist centers of worship are known to exist.

	Monadism and its adherents are viewed very negatively by ~~the~~ followers of other deities. Their ~~believe~~ in monotheism is extremely heretical to almost all, especially through its insinuation that the devotees of two very opposed deities actually follow the same god. Other beliefs, such as their cosmology and adherence to pacifism and complete honesty, also cause significant friction. Outside of the Akrotirian Isles and some southern Chaskan communities, Monadists frequently find themselves persecuted for their beliefs, often driven out of town once their views become public knowledge.

	Early in the religion's history, Monadists used to proselytize in an attempt to spread their beliefs. These practices have almost entirely halted, largely as a result of their persecution. The faith spreads very slowly now, entirely dependent on word of mouth and the growth of their own, increasingly insular communities.

	Monadists strongly disagree with the cosmology and and creation mythos of ~~all~~ other pantheons. They believe the universe has always existed, with no beginning and perhaps no end. To them, the Blind Witness itself is an eternal deity. It has watched over the cosmos forever and will continue to do so until time itself ends, if such an event ever occurs. Monadists do not believe Kishar to occupy an important position in the universe, instead seeing their planet as just one amongst an infinite number of others.
